"We are anxious to hold the, fight here.” said Clark, “and 11 will act as director if that is | necessary under certain conditions. | The fight must be for the benefit' of Chicago charities. Under no, circumetances would I promote the fight if the money were to go bacK to New York." The match, if held here, Clark ; said, will lie promoted Ivy the Madison Square Garden Corporation of Illinois. William F.

i roa -I i I " J (By Pete Reynolds) 1 Tonight the Commodores play St. I Johns of Delphos. Both first and second teams will make the trip. The Commodores will be out to even I the scote with Delphos tonight, as St. Johns defeated the locals hero last and in two earlier games, the two teams each won one game. 000 A large number of Commodore 'fans are expected to accompany the team to Delphos tonight. The gym i here held the largest corwd of the reason for the Delphos game and another large crowd is expected at Delphos tonight. 000 Friday night the Commodores ami I Yellow Jackets will both play. Os--1 sian will meet tie Commodores here and the Yellow Jackets will journey to Garrett for a Northeastern Indiana conference battle. 000 The Yellow Jackets will be somewhat crippled for Friday's game with Garrett but should win without too much trouble although a layo f of one week may take the edg° off the Yellow Jackets' form. J. Hill, (regular forward and Feasel and | Steele, reserves, will he out of the 'lineup because of an attack of the mumps. Gav second team center, also is afflicted with the mumps. 000 The Commodores will play their final home game of the season Monday night meeting Central Catholic of Fort Wayne on the local floor. C C. defeated the Commodores at Fort Wayne a few weeks ago and a real battle is in prospect for Monday night. 000 Monday’s game will be the final contest of the regular season for the .Commodores. Preparations will start after this game for the state tout-1 ney at Indianapolis Friday and Saturday, February 27 and 28. 000 See friend Buck over at Bluffton has been doing some guessing along with us on the Northeastern Indiana conference standing. Buck agree; pretty well with us (for once). We note according to Buck's dope that Nortli Side has been forced to for- 1 felt a game to Garrett. 000 North Side, according to information available, refused to schedule a game with Garrett this season and according to conference rules this game must be forefeited. This de|foat practically eliminates North I Side from a chance at the conferlence title as the Redskins lost to I Decatur. Here is the standing Buck I has figured: Conference Standing
